ICC T20I Rankings: Kishan No.2, Samson at 22nd, Pandya Tops All-Rounders

Samson Jumps to 22nd After World Cup

Sanju Samson also had an impressive run, scoring 321 runs in the tournament and achieving three consecutive fifties. His remarkable efforts earned him the Player of the Series Award at the World Cup, and he climbed 18 places in the rankings, moving from 40th to 22nd.
Although he struggled to find his rhythm early in the tournament, he truly found his form in a crucial match against the West Indies at Eden Gardens. From that moment, he did not look back, delivering stellar performances in must-win games against the West Indies, England, and New Zealand, including an unbeaten 97 and two scores of 89.

Abhishek's Final 50 Saves Top Rank

Abhishek Sharma, currently India’s top T20I batter, faced challenges during the tournament, managing only 89 runs in seven games. However, his dazzling 18-ball fifty in the final helped him retain his top ranking—at least for now. Meanwhile, all-rounder Shivam Dube climbed four spots to 27th in the updated rankings.
On the other hand, Tilak Varma and captain Suryakumar Yadav saw their rankings drop following the T20 World Cup.

Pandya, Raza Rule All-Rounder Charts
